Deerclose West Farmhouse, Deerclose West, Horsehouse, Leyburn, North Yorkshire, DL8 4TS

Not only is this property beautifully presented but it?s also fabulously stocked. We filled the house to the rafters and there was everything we needed to accommodate and feed 14 people. Two kettles, two 4 slice toasters, two dishwashers, a massive double fridge which we didn?t even fill despite catering for 14 people for 4 days. The cutlery drawer contained everything we needed including a pizza cutter and spaghetti spoon.

The children (aged 7-16) were safe and happy, loving the table football game and a space upstairs that they used for themselves. Rooms were spacious and comfortable, even though we fitted for children into one room. The outdoor space was great for the two dogs. And lastly, when we had need to call the property owner (our fault, not theirs!) their response was quick and helpful (although actually getting in touch was a little tricky at first). (Wi-Fi signal isn?t great but what do you expect for a countryside retreat!)

We didn?t venture far because of the weather but with our own stash of board games and a couple of jigsaws we found in a cupboard, we occupied everyone all weekend. If you do want to venture out, Forbidden Corner is a great family adventure just about 15 minutes away and Leyburn village looks like a lovely afternoon could be spent window shopping and eating.

I would highly recommend this property!

We stayed here for a big family celebration and it was perfect. The house is beautiful and the surroundings are gorgeous, with amazing views. House had everything we could possibly need. Communication with Kim was excellent and she was very accommodating to our requests. Lovely touch of leaving us some champagne and flowers for our arrival. Would definitely stay again.

We had a magical stage at Deerclose West and after a very strange year with COVID 19 and lockdown, it made our year. The house was perfect for both adults and children with lots of space, the beds were super comfy and the views and surrounding areas were stunning.

Kitchen was well equipped and everything spotlessly clean, we could not have asked for more.

The kids loved playing in the garden and finding fairies in the waterfall. ( )

We loved it so much we are now on talk about returning.

Kim (house manager) was fantastic especially with a strange year and having to adapt. She kept us informed at all stages of the booking and stay and was great at advising us on where to go for our visit. We can?t thank her enough.

Lovely clean, big house in a secluded location. Views are amazing. Perfect for extended family holidays. Key safes outside made it convenient if we got back home at different times. Two sitting rooms allowed us to spread out as well as all sitting together at the big kitchen table. Kitchen has more than enough pots, pans and glasses etc. Aga and electric oven, two fridge freezers and small freezer, really useful for a large number of people. No mobile phone coverage at all and intermittent Internet. Lots of stairs in kitchen but children, even toddler quic

We stayed here with a group of friends for my husbands 30th birthday and had the most perfect weekend. The cottage is stunning! It is beautifully maintained and cared for, offers fantastic scenery and is perfect for a large group. The large sitting room with wood burner was a great spot for games and socialising and it just up from the large dining room - big enough to seat all of us comfortably. The location is amazing, we enjoyed a lovely circular walk starting and finishing in the village and we're lucky enough to have a sprinkling of snow to add to the e

We have just enjoyed a stay here with a group of 7 adults and two children (aged 2 and a half and 11 months). This warm property ticked all the boxes. We were able to childproof one side, which had the added benefit of two bathrooms and a kitchen. The "adult" side had the large kitchen with Aga, and a comfortable gallery area with adjoining lounge. The huge dining table seated all of us with room to spare. No mobile signal at all, and wi-fi inconsistent. (That may in fact be an advantage ...) Large televisions in each lounge. Lovely, well-equipped prop
